What's this - a GeForce GTX 780 GHz edition ?

As you guys know Nvidia will launch a GeForce GTX 780 Ti next week. Which is going to be a fast product alright. But that release will still make the regular GTX 780 a little pale compared towards the R9 290. Word on the street now is that Nvidia will release a GeForce GTX 780 GHz edition to counteract the AMD releases. So that's next to the 780 Ti release.

Now the GeForce GTX 780 GHz Edition is a normal GTX 780 but has increased clock speeds of 1006 MHz core, 1046 MHz GPU Boost. The memory would remain 6.00 GHz. The card will have a new stepping tagged as "GK110-300-B1," compared to the original's "GK110-300-A1."

Asian website Expreview noticed all this as their Inno3D GTX 780 iChill HerculeZ 3000 graphics card to be based on this new silicon. it remains however speculation of the HIGHEST level whether or not there actually will be a 'GHZ' edition released. To be honest, personally I doubt it. But I like to be wrong of course.

Now for sw1000xg to edit his before any mod takes notice...then again, I do feel that a 7800GTX seems ten times faster than a GTX780...

Again seriously BF4? It runs on an Abox 360, 8 year old tech if it's stressing out a PC today it's because it's not designed for PC... You really think a GTX 7800 (same as the Xbox GPU) can out pace a GTX 780? Let alone my 660TI? This is what I am talking about games are not optimised for PC period... 1080p? A true PC optimized game wouldn't need anything above a 680 7970, and run perfectly in 1080 no matter the res... A 780 PC opitmized game would easly handle 4K gaming... This is where buying £$500 cards is dumb! You are buying them to play console games, oh with higher res...

Seriously? Have you even seen bf4 on xbox 360? Pc version doesn't just have higher res. It is so much more advanced it's like it's a completely different game

Are you sure about this one? I thought the 360 was designed with a specially designed chip that is specifically used for AA without a performance hit to the GPU.

From Wiki: The GPU package contains two separate silicon dies, each built on a 90 nm process with a clock speed of 500 MHz; the GPU proper, manufactured by TSMC and a 10 MB eDRAM daughter-die, manufactured by NEC. Thanks to the daughter die, the Xenos can do 4× FSAA, z-buffering, and alpha blending with no appreciable performance penalty on the GPU.

Of course this doesn't mean that its being used, but I would think that if free power was available it would be taken advantage of.

Some Canadian websites have dropped the GTX 780 to $500 CAN. So the price has happened. But right now I wouldnt buy anything from both Nvidia or AMD/ATI until Nvidia launches Maxwell.. its too close for a release.. doesnt worth spending on a new card right now.

Question is;-

"Where can I buy this card for a `proper` price (which popular site) where they will POST it via Air Mail to Japan (not a US military address)? :ange:

Every site I tried from California to China do not post to Japan.

Amazon Japan, you are Kraaayyy-Zee crayon users. :pt1cable:

Try www.tigerdirect.com - they are one of the biggest (and best) etailers in the USA and they do sometimes ship internationally. The only catch is that you have to do it over the phone.

Check them out, it may be worth it, even with the shipping and import fees.

I agree with everything you are saying except that part about higher resolutions and a lot of people using them. Steam survey shows the percentile is minuscule.

The steam survey shows that the percentage is miniscule, that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of people using them. At least amongst the enthusiast community. It's all about perspective, the average joe on steam plays a handful of free games and uses it as a social hub. So of course they generally wont care about such things. Amongst the hardware and more hardcore gaming community it becomes a lot more common.

Now you're just being thick headed. Look at the compromises made in the quality of the visuals on the consoles before banging away at the keyboard.

Let alone that the guy seems to have no understanding of how consoles work. There is such a thing as proprietary tech. Getting the most out of a console is a hell of a lot easier than with a PC.

This is why I buy a new card once ever 2-3 years if not longer in between

Bored with all these new cards coming from Nvidia and AMD, there are no games that use graphics like in that Unreal demo vid using a 680!

it's like cars, people buy cars that go faster than 250Km/h and use them on road with speed limit of 90Km/h.

i won't buy one of those card but i like the fact they exist, competition is alway good.
